from the doc:
"
-fsanitize=bounds
This option enables instrumentation of array bounds. Various out of bounds
accesses are detected. Flexible array members, flexible array member-like
arrays, and initializers of variables with static storage are not instrumented.
-fsanitize=bounds-strict
This option enables strict instrumentation of array bounds. Most out of bounds
accesses are detected, including flexible array members and flexible array
member-like arrays. Initializers of variables with static storage are not
instrumented.
"
the situation is very similar to the previous:
-Warray-bounds
-Warray-bounds=2
Per our previous discussion on -Warray-bounds and -Warray-bounds=2 and
-fstrict-flex-arrays=N, I think it's very reasonable to handle the
-fsanitize=bounds and -fsanitize=bounds-strict + -fstrict-flex-arrays=N
similarly, i.e:
1. let -fstrict-flex-arrays=N to control the behavior of -fsanitize=bounds;
2. -fsanitize=bounds-strict actually is an alias of -fsanitize=bounds
-fstrict-flex-arrays=2, i.e, it treats [], [0] as flexible array members, but
treat [1], [4], as regular arrays.
